Television isn't dead yet. It's transforming, but it isn't dead. I think a big reason they are getting these big money offers is because these networks need that content in order to justify their existence a little bit. Streaming services and online mediums are an avenue for the future, and they might one day be hungry for that built-in audience, but they can probably wring something out of someone and make it easy to find them.
But more and more I am seeing older demographics being shifted to these new forms of content delivery. Gambling companies and lotteries are trying to hook younger people over here with apps. If you want to go after a younger generation, moving away from traditional TV does make sense. I'm not sure if you do that with SmackDown, however. Maybe getting NXT on Facebook is a better option?
